Eldon,
Thanks for your help I really appreciate it. I'm brand new to ham radios. I was trying to connect my FT 60R to Chirp and I cannot get to the "clone screen" as shown on the instructions from the web site, it only shows a radio frequency. Any ideas? Thanks again
John

I have had good luck with this cable set. I have programmed a Yeasu FT-60, several Baofeng models, a Kenwood TH-F6 and a Wouxon UV8D with this cable using Chirp. http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-in-1-USB-Programming-Cable-for-Baofeng-UV5R-A-Plus -UV-B5-UV-B6-BF-888-s-USA-/181175493791?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160

Actually, what I said about the FT-60 was that I'm not sure which cable is best for that one because they all seem problematic. The problem seems to be that the jack on that radio is machined slightly differently from a regular 3.5mm one for some reason, and when I was writing the driver for it, I had to keep pressure on one side of it so it would make contact.
Since Yaesu doesn't provide a cable for it (remember, it's clone-able, but not PC-programmable, according to them), I'm not sure what cable to recommend.
I don't own one myself, but a lot of people here do. I'm sure we can get some good usage reports from the folks here that have one to recommend (or not).
If there is a clear suggestion, then we should add it to the CableGuide page on the chirp site.
